Time 31m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb. venison, diced with all sinew removed - I used leg meat*
1 Tbsp. olive oil
2 and 1/2 cups diced potatoes, I left the skin on (about 3 medium potatoes)
2 cups diced carrots
1 cup diced celery
1 large onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp. herbs de Provence*
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. black pepper
1 15 0z. can diced tomatoes
4 cups unsalted beef stock or venison stock
3-4 dashes Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Dice the venison into bite-sized chunks, being sure to remove any of the silvery sinew tissue. Leaving this on makes the meat tough.
  • Add the olive oil to a large pot or Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat.
  • When the oil is hot, allow the venison to saute for 5-7 minutes or until the edges start to brown. Remove the venison from the pot and set aside.
  • Turn the heat down to medium and add the potatoes, carrots, celery and onion. Allow the vegetables to saute for about 8-10 minutes, or until they begin to soften.
  • Then, add the garlic, herbs de Provence, salt and pepper and cook for an additional minute before adding the tomatoes, broth and Worcestershire sauce. Then, add the venison back to the pot. Stir well and bring the stew to a boil.
  • Once a boil is reached, turn the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and allow the stew to simmer for 1-2 hours until the venison is tender.
  • Serve hot (is amazing with crusty bread).

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound boneless pork loin, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 ¼ cups water, divided
½ cup ketchup
⅓ cup rice vinegar
⅓ cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
aluminum foil
1 onion, vertically sliced
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
1 red bell pepper, cut into large chunks
1 green bell pepper, cut into large chunks
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as an Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add oil and heat until hot. Add pork cubes, working in batches if necessary, and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Return all the pork back to the pot and cancel Saute mode.
  • Whisk together 3/4 cup water, ketchup, rice vinegar, pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl. Pour over pork and stir to combine.
  • Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Release remaining pressure using the quick-release method. Unlock the lid and remove. Transfer pork to a plate using a slotted spoon. Cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Select Saute mode and stir in onion, pineapple, and red and green bell peppers. Simmer until vegetables start to soften, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Whisk together cornstarch and remaining 1/2 cup water in a small bowl until smooth. Pour slurry into the pot. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened to your preferred consistency, about 2 minutes. Return cooked pork back to the pot and heat until just warmed through. Garnish with sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • To achieve the best flavor, use high-quality venison meat. If you can, try to get your hands on venison from a wild deer, as it tends to have a more robust flavor than farmed venison.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different cuts of venison. While stew meat is a classic choice, you can also use venison shoulder, venison neck, or venison flank steak. Each cut has its own unique flavor and texture, so feel free to try different ones until you find one that you like.
  • Be sure to brown the venison meat before stewing it. This will help to develop the flavor and give the stew a richer color.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot when you're browning the venison. If you do, the meat will steam instead of brown, and you'll end up with a stew that's bland and lacking in flavor.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor, color, and texture. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and peas.
  • Don't be afraid to add some spices and herbs to your stew. This will help to give it a more complex flavor. Some good choices include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
  • Let the stew simmer for at least an hour. This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender.
  • Serve the stew over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes. You can also enjoy it on its own with a side of bread.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour venison stew is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new venison recipe, give sweet and sour stew a try. You won't be disappointed!
